…do you need a maths degree‪?‬ By All Accounts. . .

Advanced algebra, balancing books, and complex calculations... don’t you need to be amazing at maths to be an accountant?

This week, we sit down with ACCA members Kyle Simpson and Benjamin Kewin to get the real story on how much maths matters for a career in accountancy. From nearly failing maths class at school to finding the right support during exam season, we find out what it’s like to become an accountant when maths wasn’t always your favourite subject.

Plus, we explore Ben and Kyle’s non-linear paths to ACCA membership – including dropping out of uni – and what they both find are the key skills required to make your career in accounting a success.
